Common Problems

PROBLEM CAUSE

Dispenser won’t work. Freezer door open.

Ice dispenser won’t work. Ice bin not properly installed. Wrong ice in ice bin.

SOLUTION

l Close the freezer door.

l Make sure bin is pushed all the way in. l Use only ice crescents trom ice maker.

Other shapes won’t dispense properly.

Ice dispenser stops Ice dispenser bar held in working. too long.

l Wait about 3 minutes for the dispenser motor to reset. Large amounts of ice should be taken from the bin, not through the dispenser.

Off-taste or odor in ice. Ice attracts airborne odors. Old ice. Water quality

Foods not properly wrapped. Ice bin and freezer may need cleaning. Plumbing to ice maker

New ice maker.

9 Use rapidly or store in covered container l Dump old ice and make new supply. l Water containing minerals (such as sulfur)

may require a filter to remove. l Wrap properly. See pages 13 and 14. l Clean freezer and ice bin. See Cleaning

Chart on page 11. l Follow installation instructions for

proper ice maker water supply hook-up. l The first few loads of ice from a new ice

maker may have an off-taste. Dump ice and make new supply.

TIPS l The dispensers will work only with the freezer

door closed.

l The ice dispenser will work only if the bin is pushed all the way in.

l Use only Ice crescents tram the Ice maker. Other shapes won’t dispense properly.

l When you need more ice than a glass or two, scoop it from the bin cr remove the bin. The dispenser motor may stop if the dis- penser bar is held in too long. It will be ready to run again in about 3 minutes.

l Ice stored too long can go stale...like water. Throw it away.

l Ice can shrink. Cold moving air slowly evap- crates them. If you use ice often, you may never notice the change.

l Good water quality is important for good ice quality It is not recommended that the ice maker be connected to a softened water sup- ply. Water softener chemicals such as salt from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker mold and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, then it is important that the water softener be well maintained and operating properly.

Plan to remove and empty the storage bln: l If the ice dispenser has not, or will not be used for a

week or more; l If a power failure causes ice in the bin to melt and

freeze together; l If the ice dispenser is not used regularly.

Sounds you may hear...

3 P

p B Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your dd one didn’t.

ecause the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about

’ ,c-

them. Don’t be. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls and cabinets can make the sounds seem louder.

The following chart describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you. and what may be making them.

Possible Sounds: l Slight Hum, Soft Hiss:

l Cllcklng or Snapping Sounds:

l Water Sounds:

l Ice Maker Sounds: -trickling water -thud (clatter of ice)

l Running Sounds:

Probable Causes: You may hear the refrigerator’s fan motor and moving air

The defrost timer makes a definite click when the refrigerator stops running. It also makes a sound when the refrigerator starts.

When the refrigerator stops running, you may hear gurgling in the tubing for a few minutes after it stops. You may also hear defrost water running into the defrost water pan,

If your refrigeratw has an ice maker, you may hear buzzing [from the water valve), trickling water and the clatter of ice dumped into the bin.

Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency compressor and motor. It will run longer than older designs. It may even seem to run most of the time.

Energy saving tips... You can help your refrigerator use less electricity l Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the cabi-

net to be sure of a good seal. l Clean the condenser coil regularly. l Open the door as few times as possible. Think about

what you need before you open the door. Get everything out at one time. Keep foods organized so you won’t have to search for what you want. Close door as soon as food is removed.

l Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don’t over- crowd it so air movement is blocked.

l It is a waste of electricity to set the refrigerator and freezer to temperatures colder than they need to be. If ice cream is firm in the freezer and drinks are as cold as your family likes them. that’s cold enough.

l Keep the Power Saving Control on OFF unless moisture forms on the refrigerator exterior

l Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat source such as a range. water heater, furnace, radi- ator, or in direct sunlight.

Cleaning your refrigerator Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost To clean your refrigerator, turn the Temperature

automatically. But both should be cleaned about Control to OFF, unplug it, take out all removable once a month to help prevent odors from building parts, and clean it according to the following up. Of course, spills should be wiped up right away. directions.

FREEZING & STORING FROZEN FOODS

The freezer section IS designed for storage of corn- mercially frozen foods and for freezing foods at home.

Packaging -The secret of successful freezing is In the packaging. The wrap you use must be air, moisture and vapor proof. The way you close and seal the package must not allow air, morsture or vapor in or out. Packagrng done in any other way could cause food odor and taste transfer throughout the re- frigerator and drying of frozen food

Rrgrd polyethylene (plastic) containers with trght- fitting lids, straight-sided cannlng/freezrng Jars. heavy-duty aluminum foil, plastic-cwted paper and non-permeable plastic wraps (such as Saran) are recommended. Note, Heat-sealed bowling bags are easy to use and can be used by themselves or as carton liners.

Sealing - When sealing foods In bags squeeze out the air (liquids need headspace to allow for expansion.) Twtst the top and turn It back Fasten tie securely around the doubled-over tail. Put the label Inside transparent bags, use self-adhestve label on outside of opaque ones.

Air-tight wrapping calls for “drugstore” wrap Cut the sheet about one-thrrd longer than the distance around the food. Bring the ends together and fold In [toward the food) at least twice to seal out air. Crease ends close to food, press air from package Fold tips

over twice Finish package and tape closed NOTE With unboned meats, pad sharp edges wrth extra wrap or use stockinette to protect the wrap from punctures

Freezlng Frults- Select ripe. blem!sh-free fruits. Be sure they taste as good as they look. Wash 2 to 3 quarts (liters) at a time and drain. Fruit that stands in water may lose food value and become, soggy. Sort, peel. trim, pit and slice as needed.

Pack in rigid wade-mouthed containers or other recommended material Leave head space to al- low liqurds to expand during freezrng.

Freerlng Vegetables - Freeze only fresh high- quality vegetables picked when barely mature. For best results, freeze no more than 2 to 3 hours after picking. Wash in cold water, sort and cut into appropriate sizes. Blanch or scald. Pack in recom- mended container and freeze.

Do not freeze lettuce, celery, carrot sticks, pota- toes or fresh tomatoes. All will become limp or mushy. Tomatoes will collapse when thawed.

Freezlng Meats-The meat you thaw can only be as good as the meat you freeze. “Drugstore” wrap in meal-size packages. Flat cuts or patties should be wrapped individually OT in layers sepa- rated by a double thickness of freezer wrap.

Make sure store wrappings are moisture and va- por proof. If not, re-wrap meats with one of the wraps recommended under “Packaging”.

Freezlng Cooked Food - Prepare cooked foods as you would for the table; shorten cooking timelOtol5 minutes toallow foradditional cooking during reheating. Omit seasonings and part of the liquid. Plan to add them at reheating time. Pota- toes should also be added to soup and stew at heating time. Add crumb and cheese toppings at heating time.

Cool as rapidly as possible and freeze at once. Liquid OT semi-liquid dishes may be frozen in rec- ommended containers with he&-space. Casser- oles and other more solid foods may be frozen in the baking container. If you don’t want to leave your casserole dish in the freezer, line it with foil. Bake, cool, freeze, lift out the foil package, bag it and return to freezer.

Freezlng Baked Goods -Wrap baked breads in recommended material. Thaw in wrapping. Un- baked yeast breads can be frozen after the first rising. Punch down, wrap and freeze.

Bake cookies as usual. Cool and freeze on trays. then pack in recommended freezer bags or car- tons. Unbaked cookies may be dropped, molded or rolled and frozen on cookie trays. Store in bag or carton; bake without thawing. Refrigerator-type cookies can be wrapped and frozen in roll form. Thaw only enough to slice when ready to bake.

Fruit pies are best frozen unbaked. Bake without thawing. Bake pecan and similar pies before freezing. ..rich fillings do not freeze solid. Cut steam vents in top crusts when ready to bake.

14

IMPORTANT: Do not expect your treezer to quick-treeze any large quantlty of food. Put no more un- troten tood Into the freezer than will freeze wfthln 24 hours. (No more than 2 to 3 pounds ot fresh meat or 3 to 4 pounds of vegetables per cubic toot of freezer space.) leave enough space for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

QUESTIONS? .call your

COOL-LINE@ service assistance telephone number (page 18).

If you need setice or assistance, we suggest you follow these four steps:

1, Before calling for assistance... Performance problems often result from little things

you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind. It your retrlgerator will not operate:

l Is the power supply cord plugged into a live circuit with the proper voltage? [See page 4.)

l Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box?

. Is the Temperature Control turned ON? Ii there Is a mttllng or Jlngllng noise, or other un- famlllar sounds: l Is something on top or behind the refrigerator mak-

ing noise when the refrigerator is running? l New features on your new refrigerator make new

sounds. You may be hearing air flowing from the fans. timer clicks for the defrosting cycle, defrost water draining into the defrost pan.

It your Ice maker will not opemte: l Has the freezer had enough time to get cold? With a

new refrigerator, this might take overnight. l Is the signal arm ON...in the down position? l Is the water valve turned on? Is water getting to the

ice maker?

If there Is water In the defrost pan: l In hot, muggy weather, this is normal. The pan can

even be half full. Make sure the refrigerator is level so the pan doesn’t overflow.

It the lights are not worklng: l Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit

breaker box? l Is the power supply cord plugged into a live circuit

with the proper voltage? (See page 4.) It a bulb Is burned out: l See instructions for changing light bulbs on page 7

Use appliance bulbs only. It the motor seems to run too much: l Is the condenser, behind the base grille, free of dust

and lint? l On hot days, or if the rcXrn is warm, the motor natu-

rally runs longer l If the door has been opened a lot, or if a large

amount of food has been put in, the motor will run longer to cool down the interior Remember: Motor running time depends on dif-

ferent things: number of door openings, amount of food stored, temperature of the room, setting of the controls.

And, your new refrigerator may be larger than your old one so it has more space to be cooled. It also has a regular freezer instead of a frozen food compart- ment. All this means better refrigeration and may re- quire more running time than your old one.
